SYRACUSE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--C.H. Robinson, a global third party logistics (3PL) company, and its Syracuse office contributed to a month-long, company-wide, employee-led giving campaign. The campaign raised a total of $791,000 for local, national and global charities. In addition to the Robinson Cares campaign fundraising, employees accumulated more than 1,450 volunteer hours, helping their neighbors in need.
The Syracuse office hosted their third annual charity golf fundraiser, including a banquet and raffle, raising funds for the Salvation Army Syracuse Area Services. “I serve on the Young Leaders Advisory Council for The Salvation Army and work on a number of events year round to help where I can,” said William Intres, senior sales executive at C.H.

We look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationship with the Syracuse Salvation Army and all the people and programs who benefit from their tireless work.”
